Bishop, say, taking whisky and flavoured toffee (12)
I believe the answer is:
butterscotch
'flavoured toffee' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'bishop say taking whisky' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'say' becomes 'utter' (to utter something is to speak or say it).
'taking' says to put letters next to each other.
'whisky' becomes 'scotch' (Scotch is an example).
'b'+'utter'+'scotch'='BUTTERSCOTCH'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for butterscotch that I've seen before include "confectionery" , "Brittle, yellow-brown sweet" , "Type of toffee" , "Kind of toffee" , "Hard brittle toffee" .)
